The director/producer I'm working with made this film, it's pretty good - it involves how two mothers deal with grief caused by a suicide bombing and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I feel like the issue could have been explored more thoroughly in some ways, but the amount of access she gets into these peoples' lives is pretty remarkable. It won a Peabody Awards and was nominated for a few Emmys also.

It came out last year, obviously the Nov. 1st on that poster isn't correct.

My professor actually brought this movie up in my videomaking class on Thursday. I don't think he'd seen it, but he expressed some degree of interest in it. This alone is pretty remarkable, as very few movies that even approach the mainstream seem to tickle this guy's fancy. Sounds interesting.

It wasn't really mainstream, it was a doc that got picked up by HBO

I hadn't heard of it until I started working with her

For the cinema department here, it's mainstream, believe me.

Where do you go? I want to a marginally smaller state school and was exposed to a lot of different stuff, pretty much none of it came from Hollywood.

I'm at the State University of New York at Binghamton, and the emphasis in the cinema department here is definitely experimental, especially in the production classes. Films involving any sort of narrative are generally avoided.
